Little Santa

40 pp. | Minedition | October, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-988-8341-46-7 $17.99
(2) K-3 When Santa breaks his ankle, his child takes his place. At the end of the night the child has delivered all the presents but, confoundingly, still has one house to visit. The art--a mix of evocative landscapes and cozy domestic scenes--is gorgeous; the child narrator's voice is affecting; and the closeness between father and child may bring a lump to one's throat.
